Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fun facilities and a lovely relaxed atmosphere at the centre. Very friendly staff at the centre base. Aqua park was fun but very daunting. Be prepared for essentially a slippery bouncy castle. Those in charge of the Aquapark we very unhelpful, bordering on rude. Myself and others were the ones pulling the dingy closer to the inflatable to help people on and off while they looked on. No positive interaction, just looked constantly bored by our existence and us possibly being in need of a hand. Nothing to wipe the very many cuts I witnessed on the way back. Those on shore were very helpful. Please remember that it is all of our first time on a wobbly, slippery inflatable in deep water that most of us are only on to keep out children happy. Our old bodies ache. It costs nothing to give us a fake smile and a hand onto wobbly polyethylene. In fact, it would go a really long way. You catch more flies with honey then with vinegar. Still had a great time though!

Had a fantastic day out as usual, our annual visit to the lagoon! Changing rooms and toliets spotless, staff amazing and very helpful. We did the waterpark which requires a good level of fitness but that's clearly started in the terms and conditions,very detailed safety talk, lifeguards on the ball as per usual. Overall a fantastic day out , we will most definitely be back, looking forward to next year already.
Highly recommend.

Booked for family of 4 as part of our holiday in West Cork and Paul the manager was very accommodating when we had a problem with the time we booked. We had great fun on the inflatables…kids loved the slide and the hamster wheel! There are lovely warm showers after too. Staff were great. We had previously been as a few times and and we will definitely be back again…it doesn’t get old!

My family attended Rosscarbery lagoon aquapark today and had nothing short of a terrible experience. Upon checking in at the front desk it was obvious from looking around that the place was ran by teenagers who had absolutely no interest in being there. The safety talk if one could credit it with that title was very brief and rushed and there were no safety checks of life jackets. My husband and children went onto the aquapark and I viewed the activity from the bridge. There was one member of staff on the aquapark who spent his time on his mobile phone with no consideration for the safety or supervision of anybody partaking in activities, the only time he got up was to leave the aquapark and another teen staff member took over his position and yet again no supervision.
There were many kids and adults who struggled to get back onto the inflatables having fallen into the water and they had to be assisted by others on the aquapark, no assistance whatsoever was provided by the teen staff members.
So many people returned to the shore with blood streaming from lacerations to the feet from the velcro on the inflatables there was no medical assistance on the lagoon, I dread to think what would happen if serious medical attention was required.
My son came off the transfer boat, crying. I discovered that the teen who was operating the boat had accidentally hit him on the back of his head with his elbow whilst starting the boat (boat was overcrowded all crammed in) and did not even acknowledge it, an acknowledgement and apology would not have gone amiss here.
Showers and changing rooms are both tiny and filthy. The water in the bay was also filthy.
Overall, safety, supervision/management and cleanliness of Rosscarbery lagoon is absolutely shocking. This facility needs to take a look at Ballyhass activity centre to see how activities should be ran and staffed, we have attended recently and there were 3 members of staff on the aquapark supervising and assisting and one member of staff circling the waterpark on a paddleboard to ensure safety of participants
I left Rosscarbery lagoon with serious safety concerns and most certainly will not be returning.
